Honda Performance Parts to Hit Dealers in March 2027

Honda Racing Corporation USA will debut its first retail performance-parts line at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, running November 3-6, with sales beginning in March 2027. The program marks the realization of the plan HRC US announced at SEMA back in 2024 to build authentic performance parts for Honda and Acura customers in North America.

The opening lineup covers lightweight forged wheels and a tuned cat-back exhaust, developed by HRC engineers to boost the Civic Type R, Integra Type S, Passport TrailSport and Pilot. Honda says the parts went through final performance and durability work, with testing at the Nürburgring, before release. They will sell exclusively through Honda and Acura dealerships and the Honda DreamShop online store.

"Our new HRC Performance Parts are designed and developed by HRC engineers with the same attention to detail given to our championship-winning race cars, both on and off-road," said Jon Ikeda, senior vice president, HRC US. "HRC Performance Parts will elevate the driving experience wherever our customers take their Honda and Acura vehicles – on the road, to the track and on the trail."

The headline item is a 19x10-inch forged-aluminum wheel for the Civic Type R and Integra Type S, built with 2elle-engineering, the supplier behind the Acura ARX-06 race car's wheels. According to HRC, the slim-spoke layout and gray finish echo the ARX wheel. An optional bronze finish nods to the Honda RA 272. HRC lists each at 20.8 lbs., 5.5 lbs. lighter than factory, with a 55mm offset and a half-inch of added width.

For the off-road side, an 18x8-inch forged wheel for the 2026+ Passport and 2023+ Pilot was developed with Titan 7, HRC's Pikes Peak wheel supplier. HRC says it is forged from 6061 aluminum under 10,000 tons of pressure, adds 100kg of load capacity over stock and carries "Honda Racing" machined into the face.

Rounding out the first parts is a Borla-built 304 stainless cat-back exhaust for the same Passport and Pilot. According to HRC, it raises flowrate up to 6 percent, uses Borla's "Polyphonic Harmonizer" and "Anti-Drone" technologies, and its compact routing adds up to 1.9 inches of ground clearance.

HRC will also show prototypes of future parts at Booth #24789. The company says those include adjustable coilovers with camber plates, a six-piston Brembo big brake kit and a short-throw shifter.
